General Education Program Objectives (GELO)

A university brings together many separate areas of learning, yet it is more than
just a collection of specialized disciplines. The SJSU General Education Program incorporates
the development of skills, the acquisition of knowledge, and the integration of knowledge
through the study of facts, issues, and ideas. Regardless of major, all who earn undergraduate
degrees should share common educational experiences, as they become university scholars.
In combination with major, minor, and elective courses, the General Education curriculum
should help students attain those attributes found in an educated person.

Students who complete the General Education curriculum should be able to demonstrate:

Knowledge of Human Cultures and the Physical and Natural World

(focused by engagement with big questions, both contemporary and enduring through
study in the sciences and mathematics, social sciences, humanities, histories, languages,
and the arts)

Intellectual and Practical Skills

(practiced extensively, across the curriculum, in the context of progressively more
challenging problems, projects, and standards for performance)

Personal and Social Responsibility

(anchored through active involvement with diverse communities and real-world challenges)

Integrative Learning

(demonstrated through the application of knowledge, skills, and responsibilities to
new settings and complex problems)

The advancement of academic discourse requires civility and a respectful attitude
toward all in the expression and consideration of a variety of viewpoints. All courses
shall reinforce the ethical responsibility of students and instructors to acknowledge
respectfully the learning styles and forms of expression of individuals and members
of all groups.
